A poem of doubt, hope and perseverance

thoughts unsure
hearts a-trembling… dreading..
is this a start or an ending?
never knowing… always wondering…

will it stay, will it go?
is it all an empty show?
I can’t fight it… I can’t hide
from the thoughts I keep inside…

I don’t know when, I don’t know how
so I do what I can now…
I’ve got to run… can’t keep still
I’ll have it all, I’ll have my fill…

will I have time to do
all the things I want to do?
so when it’s over, I won’t mind
I’ll leave my mem’ries behind…

I wouldn’t beg, I wouldn’t grieve
I gave my all and I believed…
while I’m still here, while I can move
there is so much for me to prove…

legs running… hands reaching
breathe the air the way I would
while I still could…

tears flowing… hearts laughing
just living…

while everything around me
is still moving...

breathing…

changing…

Reads like a racing mind trying to make sense of the frantic pace of life.

Your intro leads me to believe that perhaps something tragic, perhaps medical, is happening. Anyway your writing is superb and your timing is great. As the others have indicated, there's a lot going on in this poem. 1994? I'm glad that it's posted here now.

Eeva, you did well to not "hide the thoughts you had inside" with this write. I like the idea over and over of movement forward, legs running, moving, reaching, breathing, flowing, laughing, living and lastly " changing" as we must learn to adapt or we indeed come to a standstill. Life always move on , whether we like it or not. Good rhyme too.

PS I could put this to song, I think a lot of good poetry can also be a song sometimes.

I loved this mini rant, Eeva, and the rhyming just set it off. Questions. Doubts. So much to prove? I set about proving things too back in tha day, but I headed in the wrong direction to do it and wasted a life. Please be careful . . . is all I'm sayin'.
